    My Site Sift Directory is giving me a headache. Included is a sitemap.xml generator script that keeps failing me. The error message I get is like this:

    and:
    Fact is: I cannot get my host to activate fopen!

    My question is this: Can I work my way around it somehow?
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    There is a work around that might work for you. I can't recall the details.

    Go to Dreamhost.com and search in their wiki

    From the first error, i can see that the Url file access is not set to yess in php.ini.

    I would do this on top of my script:
    ini_set("allow_url_fopen" , 1);

    ^ This value can't be changed via ini_set().

    I faced a similar problem:

    Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration...

    Googled and landed here and few other pages, and found a CURL solution and it works:

    
<?php
/*
   * @return string
   * @param string $url
   * @desc Return string content from a remote file
   * @author Luiz Miguel Axcar (lmaxcar{AT}yahoo.com.br)
*/

function get_content($url)
{
    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

    ob_start();

    curl_exec ($ch);
    curl_close ($ch);
    $string = ob_get_contents();

    ob_end_clean();
    
    return $string;     
}

#usage:
$content = get_content ("http://www.php.net");
var_dump ($content);
?>

    I posted this here, incase someone faced a similar problem ;)
